Clèco October Picks: Clean Indulgence for the Conscious Modernist
Fall is here — the air is softer, the pace a little slower, and our rituals crave meaning. This month’s Clèco Picks are for the woman who wants it all: sophistication, sensuality, and science-backed purity. From skin and scent to soul and silk, every product we’ve chosen earns its place not just by aesthetic appeal but by integrity — clean, non-toxic, and consciously made.
Inna Organic Radiant Tinted Lip Serum, Rose Geranium — $25
Why we’re dying to have it:
This is lip care reimagined — a glossy tint that feels like self-care in a vial. Inna Organic’s Radiant Lip Serum merges skincare and makeup in one delicate stroke. The Rose Geranium shade gives a whisper of color while deeply nourishing lips with organic plant oils.
Why it’s clean:
Certified organic, vegan, and formulated without petrochemicals, beeswax, or synthetic dyes. It’s the kind of “quiet luxury” you feel every time you swipe — beauty that feeds your skin instead of coating it.
Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic — $49.99
Why we’re dying to have it:
This isn’t your average probiotic — it’s a science-grade symphony for your microbiome. As the weather shifts, your gut and skin microbiota do too. Seed’s DS-01 helps maintain balance from within, giving you that unmistakable “lit-from-the-inside” glow.
Why it’s clean:
Clinically studied, third-party tested, and free from allergens, preservatives, and artificial binders. Packaged in refillable glass jars with compostable pouches, it’s the kind of product that proves wellness can be intelligent and planet-friendly.
Lunya Women’s Washable Silk High-Rise Pant Set — $288
Why we’re dying to have it:
Because elegance shouldn’t require dry-cleaning. Lunya’s washable silk is what dreams — and slow mornings — are made of. It drapes like a sigh and feels like confidence.
Why it’s clean:
OEKO-TEX certified washable silk, low-impact dyes, and a sustainable production process that marries luxury and longevity. Sleepwear that doubles as self-expression.
Heretic Dirty Hinoki — $275
Why we’re dying to have it:
The sensual side of clean beauty. Dirty Hinoki is that smoky, meditative forest scent that wraps you like cashmere. It’s grounding yet provocative — imagine temple wood, skin heat, and incense smoke all mingling in perfect restraint.
Why it’s clean:
Every Heretic perfume is made entirely from natural botanicals and extracts in non-GMO sugarcane alcohol — no phthalates, parabens, or synthetics. This is how you wear luxury without toxins.
Freja Chrystie Bag — $278
Why we’re dying to have it:
The Freja Chrystie is New York minimalism done right — quiet, confident, and ethically made. It’s the “it-bag” for women who value design with depth, not logo flash. We love it for its sculptural fold-over form and espresso-toned vegan ultrafiber leather.
Why it’s clean:
Crafted in small batches from OEKO-TEX-certified vegan ultrafiber, with no animal products or harsh solvents. Durable, water-resistant, and structured — this is guilt-free craftsmanship that outlasts trends.
Merit Flush Balm — $30
Why we’re dying to have it:
A creamy blush that melts into your skin like morning light. Merit’s Flush Balm brings instant vitality to tired complexions — no brush needed. It’s simplicity, elevated.
Why it’s clean:
Made without parabens, sulfates, or fragrance — vegan, cruelty-free, and EWG-verified. Merit’s formulas are crafted to flatter, not irritate, and come in fully recyclable packaging.
Pact Organic Cotton Underwear — from $21
Why we’re dying to have it:
These are the underwear you’ll actually feel good wearing — literally. Soft, breathable, and planet-friendly, Pact turns everyday basics into statements of comfort and care.
Why it’s clean:
GOTS-certified organic cotton, fair trade factories, and non-toxic dyes. No PFAS, no microplastics, no “fast fashion fatigue.” Just pure, sustainable softness.
MATE the Label & Organic Basics (Honorable Mentions)
Because one ethical label isn’t enough. MATE the Label brings dreamy TENCEL™ and organic cotton loungewear, while Organic Basics delivers minimalist essentials that move with your body — not against it.
Both use certified eco-materials, low-impact dyes, and transparent production chains that redefine what “clean fashion” truly means.
Catbird 14K Recycled Gold Stack Starter Set — $98.60
Why we’re dying to have it:
Your foundation for sustainable fine jewelry. Catbird’s stack set offers a refined whisper of gold that layers beautifully and wears effortlessly.
Why it’s clean:
Each piece is handmade in Brooklyn using 100% recycled gold. Catbird is a certified B Corp known for fair wages, ethical production, and traceable materials.
